302
- Series Description
The series provides a forum to examine the political, social and personal impact of changes in health care in the United States. It focuses on stories that affect us all--the cost of growing old, of nursing home care and, as we live longer, the challenge of staying healthy. Each edition of "The Health Quarterly" features "The AIDS Report," an update on the major health crisis facing the world today. Hosted by Peter Jennings.
- Program Description
This hour magazine format program includes two segments: "Focus Documentary on Clinton's Health Care Bill" and "The Family Doctor."
This program investigates "The Most Lobbied Bill in History," which is President Bill Clinton's proposed Health Care Reform Bill. Since his main aim is to cut costs, some sectors of the vast health care industry will make less money. The program, hosted by Roger Mudd, investigates the enormous and diverse health care lobby, and the time, energy and money being spent by lobbyists for consumer, insurers, pharmaceutical companies and physicians to advance their interests. Later in the program, profiles of two primary care physicians - Dr. David Abbey and Dr. Lorraine Wood - provide a springboard for an examination of the importance the family doctor of old might play in the new reformed system.
